  • Luftwaffe Eagle Johannes Steinhoff Flying with Skill and Daring, the Great Ace Survived the War and a Horrible Accident, Living Into His 80S
    Luftwaffe Eagle Johannes Steinhoff Flying with skill and daring, the great ace survived the war and a horrible accident, living into his 80s. This article was written by Colin D. Heaton originally published in World War II Magazine in February 2000. Colin D. Heaton is currently working on a biography of Johannes Steinhoff with the help of the great ace's family. Johannes Steinhoff was truly one of the most charmed fighter pilots in the Luftwaffe. His exploits became legendary though his wartime career ended tragically. Steinhoff served in combat from the first days of the war through April 1945. He flew more than 900 missions and engaged in aerial combat in over 200 sorties, operating from the Western and Eastern fronts, as well as in the Mediterranean theater. Victor over 176 opponents, Steinhoff was himself shot down a dozen times and wounded once. Yet he always emerged from his crippled and destroyed aircraft in high spirits. He opted to ride his aircraft down on nearly every occasion, never trusting parachutes. Steinhoff lived through lengthy exposure to combat, loss of friends and comrades, the reversal of fortune as the tide turned against Germany, and political dramas that would have broken the strongest of men. Pilots such as Steinhoff, Hannes Trautloft, Adolf Galland and many others fought not only Allied aviators but also their own corrupt leadership, which was willing to sacrifice Germany's best and bravest to further personal and political agendas. In both arenas, they fought a war of survival. Aces like Steinhoff risked death every day to defend their nation and, by voicing their opposition to the unbelievable decisions of the Third Reich high command, risked their careers and even their lives.

    Fw 190A JG-54 Grünherz 1155 GERMAN WWII FIGHTER d r 1:48 SCALE PLASTIC KIT a u d e intro DUAL COMBO! In this kit, released also as a Limited Series edition, we bring you the Focke-Wulf Fw 190A, that flew combat with the well known fighter unit, JG 54 ‘Grunherz’. Jagdgeschwader 54 was formed through a very complicated process, but this only served to raise the level of significance of the unit later on. The foundation for the unit was laid in February, 1940, but its formation with three Gruppe (each with Stab and three Staffel, with each Gruppe fielding some forty aircraft) goes back to the summer of the same year. Its Kommodor (Geschwader Commanding Officer) from August 24th, was Hannes Trautloft. The only original component of JG 54 can be considered I.Gruppe (I./JG 54). II./JG 54 was, up to July, 1940, an independent unit carrying the designation I./JG 76 (earlier being a component of JG 2) and III./JG 54, similarly an independent entity, originally designated I./JG 21 and operationally subordinate to JG 27. Trautloft was tasked with the chore of taking these elements, combining them into one unit and leading them successfully into combat. He managed to this by the end of the Battle of Britain, and his JG 54 became one of the best escort units in the Luftwaffe. Another conflict in which Trautloft led his unit, was that of the Balkans. Participants included II. and III./JG 54, as well as, naturally, the Kommodore with his Stab.

Some had been captured in Spain during the Civil War and sent back to the Soviet Union, while others were bought from the Germans following the signing of the infamous non-aggression pact between the two countries in August 1939. Having studied the Luftwaffe’s principal fighter, the Messerschmitt Bf 109E, and compared its flight data with the then new MiG-3, Yak-1 and LaGG-3, both the leadership of the VVS-KA and senior aircraft designers came to the conclusion in early 1941 that Soviet fighters had at last attained parity with their western European equivalents. However, in the immediate aftermath of the launching of Operation Barbarossa on 22 June 1941, it quickly became apparent that the E-model’s replacement, the Bf 109F, was clearly superior to all Russian fighters then in frontline service. For example, the ‘Friedrich’ was faster than all three new Soviet fighters up to an altitude of 16,500ft – fighting rarely occurred at higher altitudes on the Eastern Front.
